I have had GL1000, 1100, and two 1200's but just got my first 1500. Previous owner said he bought it then it sat for 4 months in the garage. When I test rode it I notice gas on the ground when it was idling. Looked wet in the gas overflow area.
Had a bit of a lag when you cranked the throttle but then seem to run okay until you slowed to stop. It would almost die.
Bought it anyway due to low price. He delivered it to the house due to recent bad weather.
Started it when I got home today it seemed to run fine then strong fuel smell gas dripping under bike and a cloud of smoke coming off engine like fuel was dripping onto engine.
Shut it off notice fresh fuel under bike. Came in to check forum. Could this be the pepcock rebuild issue? A stuck float...?
